" It’s puzzling why Carney keeps doing things that alienate his own supporters, let alone his own MPs. After all, the reason Carney is sitting in the Prime Minister’s Office is because progressive swing voters made a strategic choice to lend him their votes — they didn’t lend Carney their vote to appease Trump, impose austerity or roll back workers’ rights.

Carney may genuinely believe he’s being pragmatic or putting the “national interest” above all else. But increasingly it looks more and more like Carney simply misunderstands the mandate he was handed by his own voters"
